Instructions
Preheat the oven
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Pro tip: Using parchment paper ensures even baking and easy cleanup.
Cream the butter and sugars
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Pro tip: Cream for about 2-3 minutes for best results.
Add wet ingredients
Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
Pro tip: Ensure each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.
Combine dry ingredients
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Pro tip: Sift the dry ingredients to avoid lumps.
Mix wet and dry ingredients
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
Pro tip: Avoid overmixing to prevent tough cookies.
Fold in oats and extras
Fold in the rolled oats, dried cranberries, and white chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
Pro tip: Use a spatula to gently fold in the mix-ins.
Chill the dough
Cover the dough and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
Pro tip: Chilling helps the cookies hold their shape during baking.
Shape the cookies
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of dough per cookie onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them 5 cm (2 inches) apart.
Pro tip: A cookie scoop ensures uniform size.
Bake the cookies
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
Pro tip: Cookies continue to cook on the baking sheet after being removed from the oven.
Cool and serve
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Pro tip: Cooling on a rack prevents sogginess.
